  • Constitution and Bylaws
  • Finance
  • Membership
  • Newsletter and Publications
  • Program
  • Publicity
  • Recruitment and Scholarship

Special Committees appointed annually include:

  • Nominations (comprised of past presidents)

Other Ad Hoc special committees and Task forces may be formed as needed by the president of APALA.
